Temperatures are starting to warm up a bit but it still feels cold. The biggest difference seems to be that it doesn't take as long to warm up once I get home. Today's run felt good. I struggled a little on the uphills but was able to make up the difference on the downhills. Not sure why I struggled so much on the uphill. I run a lot of hills so I shouldn't struggle as much as I do.

There was a runner hit by a car yesterday just a few blocks from where I was running. I heard the emergency vehicles during my run but didn't know what was going on until I saw it on the news last night. She was running on a road that is not very busy and she was in a bike lane. This is a good reminder of how careful we all need to be while out on the roads. They haven't been able to identify her so this is also a good reminder that we need to have some form of id with us while we run. I have a RoadID on my shoe which has my name and emergency contact numbers. It is also a good idea to make sure that somebody knows when and where you are running. |
